Class Note 1987
Jan - Feb 2014
It seems that lately Nashville, Tennessee, has been the place for ’87s to travel and I have had the pleasure of spending time with some old friends. Sue Axelrod Emanuel visited Nashville recently on business with UBS. We had a fun time catching up over coffee and talking about how quickly the kids are growing and heading off to college. Allison Bleyler McDonald was in Nashville in October for a market research conference. She and her colleagues from Yankee Candle experienced some true southern hospitality while they were in town and took in a show at the Grand Ole Opry. I have lived in Nashville with my husband and children for almost 12 years. Let me know if your business travel brings you to Nashville; I’d love to show you around!
Christen O’Connor wrote to say that quite a few ’87s were on hand for the 100th Dartmouth Alumni Council meeting in Hanover. In addition to seeing our class representative Anne Schnader, Christen spent some time (and some very late nights) with Jen Schorch, Brendan Connell, Conrad Smith, Ginny Wilkins and Betsy Rutherford.
With the Winter Olympics coming up, we looked up some classmates who live in Russia. Bill Lane wrote to say: “I have been living in Russia for more than 20 years. Dan Wolfe and I both arrived in the fall of 1992, have worked together and continue to see each other quite often. I have a real estate development company with projects in and around Moscow. My wife and I have two wonderful daughters. If any ’87s are traveling to the Olympics and spending any time in Moscow en route, please let me or Dan know. ”
Give a rouse to Rob Weiss! Alex Blumrosen ’82 wrote that at the annual meeting of the International Technology Law Association in Phoenix, Arizona, he had the pleasure to announce the appointment of Rob as the newest member of the association’s executive committee. In the normal course of events he will become the president of the association in about four years. The association (www.itechlaw.org) is the largest association of technology law professionals in the world, organizing major conferences each year in the United States, Europe and Asia, and serving as a platform for the highest-level discussions and debates on technology, law and society. Great work, Rob!
A previous Class Notes column is in need of a correction. Emil Chynn is a lasek surgeon, not a lasik surgeon. Our apologies to Emil.
